I'm so excited to be able to participate in the Jaded Blossom Birthday Celebration and being a guest designer!!! Jaded Blossom is one of my favorite stamp companies, not to mention that Candace and Michelle are great crafting friends as well and a lot of fun to learn from. For my project I created an advent calendar. I've never done one and decided to do one with different activities for my kids and I to do through out the Christmas season. WARNING!!! A LITTLE PICTURE HEAVY BELOW! :)

here's a full view

Each pocket has one of activity for the day. Out of the 24 activities,

6 of them are RACKs (Random Acts of Christmas Kindness). Every night we pick out the next day activities and if it's a RACK tag, we come up with something to do to make a difference.

Here is a closer view of the different sections of the calendar:

Christmas designs around the calendar.
